Off-season Blog

Hey everyone! It’s Taylor blogging for that busy driver who has too much to do :-) Just giving you an update on what we have been up to in the off-season! There are a ton of things to get finished in such a short period of time! Shawn has been busy, busy, busy! Between re-certifying everything, making sure everything is ready to go for 2011, and working on Friday nights, let’s just say the shop is a disaster zone and he has been M.I.A! And the true racers we are at heart, we waited to start wedding planning until we knew what our schedule would be! How crazy is that…but according to many others, they did the same thing! So that has commenced too (which I am SURE is Shawn’s favorite thing to do…NOT!) The holiday season was so much fun! In the beginning of December, we celebrated Ron’s birthday in Disneyland which is always a blast…I don’t think you ever get too old for “the happiest place on Earth”. But seriously, I don’t know about that…there were a lot of children there that would make me think otherwise! Holidays are always a zoo for us with my parents in the states and his family up in Canada so we end up being a couple of ping-pong balls going up and down the Interstate-5! Shawn did give himself a little break from the car for about 2 weeks then I think he starts to get in panic mode because he knows he has so much to do! Bill comes to the shop a lot to help which makes it a little bit easier and a lot more fun I’m sure! We have been keeping in touch with the other members of our team and they have all enjoyed some quality time at home too! Shirleen and I did a movie and coffee day not too long ago which was really nice! And I know they are just LOVING all the time they are getting to spend with their granddaughter! We miss everyone at the track though…it really is weird when you see each other SO much during the year and then all of a sudden you don’t! I am sure a lot of people will agree with me when I say we are all one big family at the track (some people might say a traveling circus, but same thing!) We are all so excited to see what 2011 has in store for us! The car is slowly coming together and should be ready to fire pretty soon! Sayonara rainy Vancouver! Hello sunshine! See you all at the track!
